Google maps has been in this business since a long time and they have come a long way, I am sure Apple maps will be quite good after one or two upgrades, in the meantime I have always used the Tomtom maps which I have always been happy with. The google maps on iOS did not have voice navigation anyway.

Besides, if you leave your precious child’s toy in the sun, it pops up a caution logo on the screen and says that it is too hot and ceases all function until it cools down. Mine however just continues working, and also doesnt melt. So again I say to you, I win, you lose, good day sir!

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 21:07:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=83679#comment-2263080I must be missing something here. If someone said that Apple should make iTunes or Siri for Android, they’d be laughed off of the forum – regardless of whether that forum was Pro-Apple or Pro-Google or entirely neutral. It’d seem like an naive and asinine statement.

There’s no good reason (and no good business case) for Apple to take its most desired, sought after features and produce them, free of charge, for their strongest competitor’s platform. I fail to see why people would expect Google to engage in that same behavior, unless Google themselves stand to significantly benefit from that application.

You can make a case for, say, a Google Plus app on iPhone. Or even a Gmail app. Those are services independent of platform that Google wants its users to participate in. But they also aren’t ubiquitous (Google Plus holds a tiny share of the social media market, and one can connect to Gmail without a dedicated app). They aren’t selling points of the Android experience. Google Maps integration is.

I’ve abused my OG Droid and my Droid 3 so much, and they still work (horribly, considering how old they are, but no real damage to the hardware, other than the outer shell). They can take abuse.. it’s amazing.

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:23:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=83679#comment-2258496There’s been multiple articles referencing mapping industry experts saying that it will be a LONG time before Apple maps gets noticeably better. Part of the reason that it’s so well known is that Google’s original ventures into the mapping industry used a similar approach to Apple’s. They acquired third party data and pasted it all together. The result was exactly what iOS6 users are experiencing now. It only got better because Google spent years and countless man-hours cleaning the data. And Apple is no Google when it comes to massive amounts of data.

dropping, allowed to SOAK in water, putting it in a high heat situation, etc.
They couldn’t kill it !!!!!

The giant black screen with no branding or buttons looks really good, and it lets the superior software stand on its own without any distractions. If I could buy a nexus with the front looking like the Gnexus and the back looking like the Xperia T I would be a happy man.
